Cathepsins are lysosomal proteases with well‐documented roles in the progression of various cancers. Among them, cathepsin B (CTSB), a cysteine protease, is notably involved in the development of breast cancer and neuroblastoma. This article, explores the potential of darifenacin as a repurposed therapeutic targeting CTSB, using molecular docking and simulation studies which demonstrate a significantly lower binding energy against CTSB (−456.268 kJ mol−1) compared to its known inhibitor, aloxistatin (−36.601 kJ mol−1). The cytotoxic efficacy of darifenacin is evaluated on IMR‐32 (neuroblastoma) and MCF‐7 (breast cancer) cells, yielding half‐maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC50) of 38.14 and 39.96 μM, respectively. Darifenacin effectively inhibits CTSB enzymatic activity by ≈1.82‐fold and ≈1.75‐fold in IMR‐32 and MCF‐7 cells, respectively, triggering intracellular reactive oxygen species generation, mitochondrial membrane potential depolarization, and cell cycle arrest. These events culminates in apoptosis‐mediated cell death, with apoptotic populations reaching 51.39% in IMR‐32 and 40.6% in MCF‐7 cells, respectively. Additionally, darifenacin disrupts lipid droplet accumulation, cellular migration, and colony‐ and sphere‐forming abilities in both cell lines. Overall, this article identifies darifenacin as a promising therapeutic agent against CTSB‐driven cancer progression.
